Umineko EP8. Replay Part 1
The episode starts with Battler handing Ange the key and telling her that she is the only one that can decide how to use it.... which at least shows that he INTENDS for her to make a choice for herself but I can't really blame Ange for feeling like she was being forced into someone else's answer either.
Of course, it's not like it's exactly farfetched that he wants his younger sister to stop being stuck in suicidal survivor's guilt, he's trying to guide her to the answer he wants without forcing her as much as possible.
It's still a lot to ask of Ange to just take everything that Battler is going to show her at face value, especially after what she just saw like 5 minutes ago, though.
Everyone recounting how this is "the first time the 5 cousins were together" is a little sad since that means in reality that could never happen....
God, I fucking hate the uwufication of Kinzo in this episode, lol. Yes I get it. I get what Battler's doing. But also I just can't stand Kinzo being remembered like this...
The notorious HAPPY HALLOWEEN sequence happens and Ange starts feeling more and more unsettled by this depiction... it is kind of sad how what a lot of people would consider "just a normal family" seems like an impossible dream for Ange, but I get her. Family for her doesn't really mean anything happy for most of her life... this, to her, probably doesn't really feel like someone trying to comfort her to help her be able to move on with her life but more like someone rewriting yours and a bunch of other traumas for their own ends.
I am really not surprised Ange ended up lashing out here.... yes, it is important for Ange to realize that her family aren't all awful evil greedy monsters but that her family were complicated people who had both good and bad parts.... but that doesn't mean the bad parts Ange saw were just fiction made on her head. Kinzo did abuse his children. Kinzo dd horrifying things to all the Beatrices. Telling her she was just imagining that makes it obvious she is going to fight against it.
Of course, this also isn't true at all... Battler is helping her deal with her own trauma and her own future in more positive ways by helping her remember all the good sides of her family. That she isn't really alone. Ange decides to step out of playing the Ange piece.
Aaaa, this is too sweet and makes me want to cry though... wouldn't be great if Sayo and Battler were actually able to talk like this? It didn't happen but just seeing it happen anyways makes me very happy.
Beatrice notices Ange's keys and realizes that Battler is playing a game with Ange. Beatrice is able to do magic in front of Ange, and yet she doesn't believe it.
Now Beatrice and Battler wish they could spend eternity forever, but they must close the catbox and hand the future to Ange...
Well... a bit of column A and a bit of column B, I guess, haha.
It's hard to not look at both Battler and Ange's point here... I can understand why Ange wants to reject and feels resentful towards this world and also why it's so important for Battler to convey his message. "The sin I left behind" The point isn't to erase everyone's wrongdoings but also to give them a chance to grow past them and let you understand them, even after they are dead and let Ange remember the other half of who these people were, memories that were deleted by many years of people only reminding her of the bad parts.
Ange starts talking about how Eva was nicer to her originally and eventually was meaner to her when she wouldn't stop asking about the truth, which she doesn't want to tell her due to her being the culprit.... that's such an impossible situation for either of them to navigate, isn't it? Leaving Ange with her family is not a real option, though, so it's hard to think what Eva is even supposed to do, even if the answer is definitely not taking care of a child that you are definitely not emotionally capable of taking care of.
Ange.... seeing that fragment in episode 7 is obviously making her even more desperate to prove Eva did it.
I can see a bit of Rudolf in how Ange deals with her flaws. Yes, she knows this is bad and self-destructive, but so what? It's similar to how Rudolf seems keenly aware of his flaws but ultimately, also, doesn't really ever even want to try to fix them. It's what they have decided is best for them, and how they have survived... but Ange will manage to break this cycle.
Uh, I don't think Eva would be too happy about having a daughter because then she wouldn't be able to launch tactical misogyny at Jessica but uh, the scenes here are cute anyways and I can totally believe Eva would rather raise a daughter than a boy if the situation wasn't like it was.
Beatrice is drunk and Battler notices haha.. it's nice to see Beatrice merrily drinking instead of the binge drinking before ending your life on EP4....
I can't help but feel some kind of sorrow from all these scenes of the family working together, it just feels a little bit sad that this couldn't happen in reality even if I also feel happy that it's happening at all.
Yeah....
Every conversation between Beatrice and Battler feels so precious, they talk about how they hope the real Ange is smiling and not the piece, how they can't force her to accept the truth, and how they need to clean up from their sins in creating the gameboard in the first place....
Ange's realizing she is letting a bunch of people outside the Ushiromiyas and Rokkenjima decide her opinion on her family.
Quiz time!! Quiz time!!! I love the quiz game section so I was curious about how the manga was going to do it when I first read it but it did do it brilliantly as well. We start with Kinzo's Christmas puzzle and he starts lamenting how people will forget that he used to be a fun grandpa because her memories will be overwritten by the mean Kinzo legends.... both of these are true though. Kinzo can be a fun grandpa while fucked up in other ways. I do remember a bunch of lines about how Kinzo didn't especially like Maria but I wouldn't be surprised if that too was something that got exaggerated because no one has a good image of Kinzo already.
I started overthinking Hideyoshi's puzzle and checking which plants had seeds and which didn't and which is considered a fruit and vegetable, oops. Eva gives her South Pole puzzle
Should she have? Yes. But also it's kind of impossible to ask of her given the circumstances, that's what makes the situation so heartbreaking...
We get Gohda and Kumasawa's dessert-themed puzzles. they don't really get an extra scene, they start discussing how Ange's bright smiles were stolen by her future, but how ultimately the only one that can hatch her smile back is herself. They pray that she will be able to find her happiness.
Nanjo gives the kyuukyuu puzzle and Genji the candle puzzle, Genji talks about how he was saved from Taiwan and Battler chooses to not pry too much more which uh, guess Battler suspects Genji is in love with Kinzo if he doesn't want to pry, haha.
Natsuhi does her keyboard puzzle and Krauss. Natsuhi sees the bond between Eva and blood and says relationships matter more than blood, she realizes what she says and we get some perspective into Sayo and Natsuhi. Sayo fcking hated Natsuhi but as she saw the regret she carried in her heart she was able to stop hating her, as the real one to blame is Kinzo. Beatrice calls her mother one time. Beatrice does think forgetting your sin is an extremely grave sin, so I am comfortable saying Sayo ended up with some trajectory similar to this in actuality even if she still obviously holds some bitterness...
Kanon has the periodic table puzzle, Shannon is flavors, and their conversation is just depressing.... they start talking about ho the catbox is a wonderful place where all dreams ca be true before deciding that they{'d rather see their dreams outside the catbox and decide to duel each other.
Rosa is the gold-carrying puzzle and Maria the sheep and wolves one Beatrice Sakutarou and Maria have a discussion about how hard it is to believe in your own magic, but they believe that Ange will be able to do it, even if it will be hard on her.
Kyrie has the puzzle with Satoko, Rika, and Miyoko,, and Rudolf uh does the same puzzle again but harder. Kyrie tells Eva to watch for Ange, and then Rudolf and Kyrie are alone and Rudolf reveals the baby swap and Rudolf says he is fine being killed for this, which he would kind of deserve, tbh,but...
George and Jessica do fucking Monty Hall problem George and Jessica tell Ange to not let the truth in her hands be changed by what other people say which is... the opposite of the solution posited by the Monty Hall problem what the fuck guys. But the point is that she should remember what was true to her instead of letting her mind be changed by a bunch of people who have never even met any of these people.
It{s easy to dismiss this entire sequence for Ange, and a first-time reader, as just a fantasy to make Ange feel better. But, is it not also true that if they knew of their deaths, and if they knew what the future was going to hold for Ange, that all of them would want what is best for her and try to alleviate her heart? Is that truth not also worth having Ange find out?
"The sin.... is to refuse to remember."
Ange goes to take a nap and Battler opens up the party for all the fantasy creatures, and you get a sense of how much the cast of this game has grown, lol.
Kinda bites with knowing what's going to happen, but I think even that is necessary for Ange to reach her truth, as well, so.... message still applies.
I am going to cry.
The description of Ange being locked in a room, separate from her entire family, where she can't go no matter what is a bit sad, too... Anyway Bernkastel guides her out the window and into her parents corpses.
Comparing Beatrice's essay to Shannon in episode 2 compared to now is pretty interesting, as Gaap mentions, haha. It's nice that even if just in meta Sayo has managed to not have such distorted views about her body and love...
Meanwhile, Battler notices Ange isn't where she's supposed to be and starts freaking out. Bernkastel shows up and Battler soon realizes he's stuck co-authoring the tale with Bernkastel. Bernkastel is made to promise to release both Erika and Ange if you can solve her riddle.
Bernkastel is about to give her riddle, after a lot of talking from Battler about how they will be besties afterward, and we move to Ange seeing the corpses. "Was that fun just an illusion" asks Ange after seeing the empty hall...
I remembered this was what originally clued me in that the answer was children + parents, just a very sus description, lol.
Battler: It's because of Erika. I can't help but be suspicious when people are examining corpses. Hhahaha okay Battler, Erika gave you trust issues.
Sh = K is confirmed in the game as well when they die, The rules are set up.
Bernkastel's flash game begins!
I forgot that in universe the one that solves the puzzle is Maria, haha, also Ange is here to get further traumatized and see her parents as murderers yet again. And then she is forced to hear hundreds of goats say awful things about her family as if she hadn't gone through enough.... whispers that won't stop for decades. The media caught on to plenty of dirt from Kyrie and Rudolf's past... but it's funny because it didn't matter who they dug for, they would have found dirt for everyone anyway. Ange's family is just the most 'fun' because Ange is alive so they can torture her for reactions and get 'new' content to draw enjoyment from if she ever reveals any details of anything...
When Ange feels like she is about to be consumed by all the goats, Bernkastel and Erika come and save her. Obviously, they are using her and manipulating her for their ends, but you can certainly understand why she feels as if they are saving her once you realize she has had to deal with the goats for so long and they are giving her the opportunity to shut them the fuck up.
Eva's choice to never reveal the truth gets reframed in this episode, she is creating endless theories of herself as the culprit and setting herself up for endless abuse, all in order to guarantee the truth that will hurt Ange so much will never come out....
Ange.... I really don't think you can blame her for how she feels during this episode.
Ange and Bernkastel have a conversation about holding on to a miracle vs finding the miracleless truth. Ange decides she's tired of other people hiding the truth from her so she's ready to face the truth even if it means giving up on a miracle.
Bernkastel feels some bitterness about how Battler and Beatrice get to laugh and enjoy each other after their game.... once her game ended all that meant was she now had to deal with a bunch of trauma.
Bernkastel reminds Battler the game isn't over and the keys are in Ange's hands, not his. We cut to Bernkastel-Ange-Featherine in the study. Featherine and Bernkastel point out that the point of the key is for her to choose between something, and Bernkastel points out that even if he is respecting her decision there's obviously a choice he wants her to make, which helps Ange understand a bit more the unease she has been feeling.
It's hard for me to not see the events of this episode as necessary for Ange... if she just went along with the trick ending just because that's the only perspective Battler gave her would she have really felt comfortable in that choice?
Erika is chronically addicted to being WRONG
The fact Ange is forced to play an actual 6-year-old also I think is like... it probably didn't help in Ange feeling manipulated and infantilized.
"I t wouldn't have been much longer before I was chased out of the gameboard with everything still vague and fuzzy," I think kind of points to what I was mentioning earlier - if Bernkastel hadn't intervened I doubt Ange would have felt satisfied with her answer.

Hi! I hope your having a good day, o have question for you.
How would the cult react to the reader(who actually is a god) say that they can't spend any time in teyvat because they have many wars to fight, to many rogue monsters to kill and basically has a schedule that won't go empty for the next three hundred years, Thiers to busy doing godly stuff.
Thank you for you time, remember to eat and sleep!
🍕🍜🍛🍡🌭🍟
gasps
let me do it!
obsessive worshiping, genshin cult, angst with comfort, religious themes, soft yandere theme.
zhongli
no no no! why why no why you? it could be anything else. hes begging on his knees. please please stay with your cult dear loving friends. let him tame care of you. hell he will take care of all the monsters! just please please dont leave him. if your reasoning is you have to with your godly duties he’ll fight beside you, by that i mean you’ll stay on your throne and he will do everything. if that doesnt make you want to stay then he has no choice then keeping you in the teapot. please dont leave. youll come to your senses eventually. after he’ll take of all the monsters and your duties… so just stay put and let him take care of everything. this is the least he can do for you after all the things youve done.
klee
their grace leaving to fight?!?! why? but we havent even went fish blasting yet! “i want to stay with you so ill do whatever it takes!!” thats what she says all the time. everyone else understands (for this specific work) but she, she does not. she always says this to you which scares you because you fear her life is in danger. so it forces you to stay with her. stay with her. and the safety of you acolytes. and maybe go fish blasting. so hug her as she squeezes you to make sure you dont leave.
fishcl
just after she sees her lovely beauty/handsomeness of a god. you want to leave? your duties.. on the outside she understands completely.. but on the inside shes a small child crying for her god. why would you leave her? just let someone else care for your duties why her? why you?! why cant it be some other god? she justs wishes she could take you away from all the monsters you fight!! but… that’ll never happen. your the reason why she feels happy. but your happiness is first. so if it makes you happy… do it <3
______________________________________________
aaaa this made my heart burn :(

okay so i tried to save this ask as a draft and it got deleted because tumblr is just such a functional website like that <3 but the prompt was “the hargreeves as ghosts in the apocalypse with five” or something like that i’m going to scream
this is SUPER long so i’m putting it under the cut hfkjsd
pre-five: the hargreeves siblings are dead. wait i feel a drabble coming on ooh
The Hargreeves siblings are dead.
Ben isn’t very aware of this at first. He’s been dead since 2006 -- he’s quite used to it, by now. What he is aware of, first, is light. Blinding white light. And Vanya, in the middle of it. He doesn’t close his eyes because he can’t feel pain, but if he could he thinks she would have made him blind. There’s light, and heat, and power, and then he closes his eyes anyway because the ceiling is collapsing around him and it’s instinctual.
When he opens them again he sees ash. Ash -- and Klaus.
He’s gotten used to Klaus, too. Klaus has a memorable sort of face; even if he didn’t, Ben has seen it every single day for almost twenty years. He doesn’t know if it’s actually been twenty years, for him. He doesn’t know how time moves for ghosts. Klaus has assured him it moves the same as it does for the living. Ben isn’t sure Klaus, stoned out of his mind, bleeding sluggishly from his arm, knew what he was talking about.
Anyway.
Klaus.
He’s wearing the coat he’s been flaunting around for the past week. His shirt is see-through, with little stars on it, like a pale imitation of the sky. Ben remembers his pants had laces on them, he’s sure they did not a minute ago, before the brightness that threatened to wipe out his very soul -- his soul is all he has left, really. His gaze drifts down anyway, to check.
Yes. Klaus’ pants have laces up the sides.
“No,” Ben says. Klaus is laying in a heap on the ground, his fingers curled like his tendons have been cut.
His lips feel numb because they always feel numb. Because Ben can’t feel at all. He takes a step. “No,” he says again, louder, surer. “No!”
Klaus looks up at him. His makeup is smudged, like it tends to be. His lips are bitten raw, like they tend to be. His hair is a mess, like it tends to be, and like it will be, always, because Klaus isn’t breathing.
Klaus is lying in a heap on the ground. Klaus is standing above his own body. Klaus is reaching for Ben like he’s hoping to touch him for the first time in years. Just when Klaus’ cold, dead, fingers brush his face, a voice from behind says, so quietly, dripping with disbelief: “Ben?”
Ben shuts his eyes and wishes desperately he could cry.
He feels a hand on his shoulder, for the first time in so, so long, but he also doesn’t feel it at all. He feels-but-doesn’t-feel someone turn him around, until they are saying, “Ben? Ben!” and he has no choice but to open his eyes and face the music.
Diego is gripping his shoulders like he is a dying man and Ben is the answer. Behind him, Luther and Allison watch them, stunned silent. Allison’s hands are pressed to her mouth. She looks like she wants to cry.
And Vanya. Little Vanya, painted white. Her head is hung as her shoulders shake with the weight of the destruction she has so inevitably caused. (Ben would say he always knew she was destined for great things -- but he can’t, because he didn’t.) (Nobody ever said great things had to be good.)
The Hargreeves siblings are dead. Their bodies are strewn across what is left of their childhood home, smouldering and burning, and Ben is very aware of that fact.
righto anyway. so they have an emotional reunion but its also kind of bitter? id have to actually write this for it to make sense so lets skip it for now lol
five shows up
he cannot see them obviously bc theyre all ghosts
god if i did write this it would be such a monster of a fic and would take me like 2 years to finish i already know fhkjdsk
somehow ?? they manage to influence the world around them maybe? idk maybe now that klaus is dead hes sober
or maybe hes high for all eternity?
for the purposes of this au lets say he died sober or in the late stages of withdrawal, and bc ghosts cant feel pain in action hes sober
so EVENTUALLY they figure out how to corporealize bc klaus is like blam wham ghost powers
asdlfk that sounds so stupid im sorry
he would say that tho imho,,, it sounds like something hed say,,,
if i DID write this it would be alternating povs also,,,
ok so out of all of them klaus and ben have the most experience homeless
and while being stuck in an apocalypse is not at all the same thing as being homeless it does help to have some knowledge
five doesnt eat the twinkie!! good for him
dammit okay. theres 2 options we can take here. in the comics five couldnt get back bc he fucked up his math and spent 15 years doing the wrong thing, but if u apply that here, with 6 other ppl checking his work this could be avoided and they end up skipping the whole assassin shtick and just hopping straight back to 2019, ready to prevent the apocalypse
OR five still gets hired for the commission but the sibs are tagging along
i think bc five isnt completely alone in this au unfortunately dolores doesnt exist :((
for each other the 2 paths tho theres also options?? bc they (ghosts) can go back in time and inhabit their past selves bodies? OR they could just,,, cease to exist
IM JUST NOW REALIZING HOW MANY PATHS THIS COULD TAKE,, AAH FUCK
okay gonna split this into parts. this is gonna be so long brace yourselves.
1) they go back in time because math checking and the ghosts swap out for their past selves
after multiple years of being stuck in an apocalypse together i think they would learn to get along with each other. like at least a little bit
which would make it easier for them to prevent the apocalypse
bc theyd:
trust each other more
already know abt the apocalypse and not have to wait for five to grace them all with his knowledge
are working as a team from the very beginning
have open lines of communication
yeah uh. so there
vanya is also already aware of her powers so the whole harold goading her into turning against her family and snapping to wipe out all life on earth thing? yeah that doesnt happen
oh and harold wouldn’t know how to do that in the first place because klaus wouldn’t throw out reggie’s journal! this solves so many problems wtf
there’s still commission issues bc they (and by they i mean five) are on the commission’s radar
so there’s still dope fight scenes sdlkfd pinky promise
okay idk. they stop the apocalypse and everything is okay the end hfkjd
2) they fix the math but only five can go back and the ghosts cease to exist
this is just sad! it would be sad okay! im sad! lets move on
subset of the past one: ben CAN go back with five because he was already dead and time travel affects them differently or something idk
aaaaaa
five & ben dynamic duo would be dope as shit BUT five would not be able to see him... so they use klaus as a middleman fjsdsfd
is there 2 bens? is one ben deleted in favor of the time-traveling ben? i dont know! i dont know my brain is melting
either way shit is happening yall!! obviously klaus is clued in, directly or indirectly it doesnt matter but he is on board the ‘don’t let the entire world end in flames’ train
3) they join the commission and then when five goes back in time they all go back
this is fun because now five is a highly trained assassin who is also lowkey a complete marshmallow for his siblings and once again TEAMWORK WOO
basically the first path but now five has a gun fhsdjk
4) they join the commission but five has to leave them behind and they cease to exist
five with a gun but hes sad now
i didnt go into how much losing his siblings would suck in the prev path but like. it would suck so much. he’s already lost them once if you think about it when he time traveled the first time and yeah he found the adult ghost versions but,, its different
and now suddenly hes stuck with these strange adult versions of the people he knows and he KNOWS them but also he doesnt? at all? they dont have all the years of shared experiences together? and theyre all grown up from the first ‘set’ of siblings he had which for five was like 40+ years ago??
SCREAMS
i have losing my mind disease (self-diagnosed)
subset: five has to leave them behind but they still exist because the commission is out-of-time kind of? idk but they’re still floating around somewhere and come back to impact the plot later or something
yeah idk. literally just wrote them down bc i didnt want them to die^2 hfkjwehd
subset: they still exist but instead of being just Somewhere they’re specifically at the assassination of JFK onwards because thats where five left them and they either go on ghosting and make an appearance in s2 OR they cease because them-wise they havent died yet but that doesnt make sense because ghosts can time travel so nevermind
i dont have the brain energy left to explore this one aaaa
okay jesus christ i think that’s all
I DON’T KNOW. i don’t know. i might write some more of this because honestly it is a very fine flavor of angst + hurt/comfort <3
#didnt proofread this at all 💀 fhsdfks#tua#the umbrella academy#pls dont let this flop i spent like an hour on it hfjksd#aus#team zero#ben hargreeves#wip#I GUESS#misc#ghosting au

Missing You
[Smut! Lasting Embers AU]
“Finally! Home again!” Yang shouted into her house, followed by the giggling from feeling Jaune’s arms wrap around her waist.
“Only this time it’s for real.” He kissed her cheek. “Second time’s the charm.”
They walked in slowly just to take the moment in. Ten plus years of fighting had a way of making Yang very sentimental, not to mention thankful for marrying someone who never gave up on her return.
Jaune finally let go to get something for her to eat since she was probably hungry from the journey back, but was quickly pulled back into another comforting hug.
“You know, I think I missed this feeling the most.” She said as she took in his scent. “You’re as warm and calming as the day I left.”
“Which time?”
“Both, I can never describe how much I missed you.”
Jaune could say the same. Instead he lifted his wife’s head up and stole a kiss. It was passionate, not to mention liberating. All this time and it felt just like he remembered; time might’ve made it stronger even. He finally broke it off and planted another on her forehead that made her blush more than she already was.
“This almost feels like a dream. You and Yujin kept me going but even I started to think-”
“Sssshhh” Jaune said,rubbing her face. A tear threatened to appear on Yang that he wiped away. “Believe me, I know. Not a day went by that I didn’t ache for you. Yujin too, but we got through it all thankfully. Rest now and I’ll make you something.”
His words soothed her soul in a way only he could. They wouldn’t sway her from letting Jaune get out all his emotions however. “Jaune…” his name escaping her lips slowly.
Yang had stood on her toes and gave him a more passionate kiss. Jaune couldn’t help but groan as her hands rubbed his chest and her tongue invited itself into his mouth. The intensity brought them stumbling to the ground into a straddle, a thin trail of saliva still connecting them even after stopping the kiss.
Jaune’s eyes were trained on Yang’s body in its entirety. Not just in lust, but in longing. Hair, eyes, smile, blemishes, he missed it all so much.
“It couldn’t have been easy keeping faith, or raising Yujin. Yet you did it in strides.”
“Believe me, there was dark days”
“I know.” Yang pressed her body against him and put her forehead on his. The shared expression of deep desire sunken into them. “Just let it all out. I want...I need you to show me how much you missed me. Her breathing became slightly unstable. Yang’s beautiful lilac eyes drifted up and down him as they became red “because I really need to show you how much I missed you.”
A switch flipped inside of Jaune. He couldn’t stop himself from stealing another kiss, one that was hungrier than the last. He quickly went for Yang’s neck and started leaving heated kisses all over it, his teeth sinking into it to mark the pale flesh red.
Yang’s body shifted and rubbed up on him as every single thing they did made her moan for him. “Please don’t tease long…”
“Endure it.” His tone more strict from desire.
That tone could give him anything he wanted right now. Yang ironically was always the meeker one when it came to these sort of things, What could she say? It felt good to be the one being out of control for once. “Yes sir” was she could manage before Jaune removed her shirt and bra.
No time was wasted kneading and sucking on the mounds of flesh. He was going to worship every bit of her.
“Aaaa~ Fucking…..aaahh!” Yang’s hands clenched Jaune’s hair and held on for dear life. His body leaned forward until Yang’s back was against the carpet. To think the floor would be there setting for such a reunion? It was perfect. The bed would probably break.
Yang’s hips raised up by reflex and Jaune immediately removed her pants before stripping himself too.Funny how years apart didn’t change their speed in times like these.
Jaune took a moment to examine his wife yet again. Her toned thighs, sculpted arms, trained waist, and heavily breathing chest. Not to mention her dripping core she oh so let him see by spreading her legs. There were a few more scars than before, that was natural. So was the natural blemish that would come from age, mainly a few wrinkles and knowing Yang, she probably wished she was a tad skinnier.
“As beautiful as the day we met”
Those words made her look away from him. It wasn’t fair how he always knew what to say. “Lady Killer as always.”
He smirked and bent down until his breath could be felt against the wanting woman’s clit. He gave it an antagonizing slow lick before dipping his tongue lower to properly taste her. Earning him the sweet sound of a moan bellowing out for Yang.
He made his way inside of her and held her legs in place. Yang couldn’t help but quiver and shake as she felt Jaune’s tongue lap up her overflowing juices. This felt better than she remembered. Way better! Yang propped herself up with her arm to see his cobalt blue eyes looking right at her. He was so hot, so...everything. She had forgotten just how much he made her feel like she was everything.
“Jaune!” She whined. “It’s too much!”
He slid his tongue out. “Good.” There was that voice again. His mouth formed around her sensitive nub and Jaune began sucking and slurping while his middle finger took the place of his tongue.
“For fu...fu..ah gods.” It was indeed too much for Yang. Only a few thrust was more than enough before her walls clamped around the digit and her body convulsed from her orgasm. Yang wasn’t sure how she managed to go as long as she did with Jaune’s touch, but it wasn’t happening again.
Finally he was able to remove his finger. The sheer amount of excitement he got from feeling just how wet and hot she was pushed him to finally progress. “Yang, get on-”
Yang was already moving. Not to his orders, at least not at first. She turned her body around to face and grabbed a hold of his seven inch member and wrapped it around her mouth.
No sounds were made besides the subtle wet sucking and not so subtle groans as he throbbed in Yang’s mouth. Somehow resisting the urge to thrust as he felt her tongue glide across the underside.
‘His taste is thicker, more potent.’ She thought as she bobbed her head deeper. She felt his right hand press on her cheek and blushed deeper as Jaune was clearly enjoying it.
“You’re so sexy.” He groaned. Yang did everything in her power to not stop blowing him right then and there and just let him go at her. She wanted to do this though. After all this time, Yang wanted to do as much as possible. That included a load to the mouth. She wouldn’t admit it but the anticipation was making her so hot for him.
“Get ready for a mouthful.” Gods it was like he was reading her mind. Everything he said was what she wanted to hear. A slight tense in his grip signaled Yang to open wider, accepting the violent twitches of his shaft releasing thick ropes of cum that blanketed her throat. The taste was stronger too. Just how much was Jaune pent? Did he ever touch himself, he had to right? She sure did.
Jaune watched her gulp it down all at once before licking the tip of his still very erect length.Yang finally stopped and layed on her side with one leg bent and her forearm propping herself up. Jaune took the bent leg and put it on his right shoulder while his right hand held her hip.
“I love you.” He said while he rubbed the tip against her. Jaune knew he might not be able to say much once they started.
“I love you too.” Yang’s words dripped with lustful passion. “No please bury that cock into your wife and give it to her in your favorite position.”
Jaune slid in with no resistance whatsoever. Both gasped at the sudden feeling and Jaune’s right hand squeezed more around her shapely ass than her hip now.
Their eyes locked at Yang could already feel the heat start to rise in her core that threatened to melt Jaune in slick pleasure. In this position, he was gonna hit every spot from the start. His left hand grabbed Yang’s left boob for added pleasure and he thrusted deep.
Tight, she was overwhelmingly tight. “Yang!”
“Move! Don’t you dare hold back!”
He wasn’t planning on it. Jaune pulled back before thrusting his hips forward again and again and again; rapidly picking up his speed. Each thrust scraped a little deeper and kissed Yang’s womb. Years without practice and they were still in sync, making their emotions flare even more.
Yang’s nails dug into the carpet for any kind of leverage against Jaune’s passionate rutting. There wasn’t a movement that didn’t make her moan loudly and stir her up. Yang tried to bite her bottom lip to gain any sense of self control but it was a far cry from working. Her body showed many ways to Jaune just how much pleasure he was giving her.
Her pale skin was now covered in a thin layer of sweat and flushed all over. Strands of her long, beautiful hair clung to her face in a way that mesmerized Jaune. The way he looked at her only made Yang feel more sensitive, the sound and smell of her own arousal filling the room.
“I missed you so fucking much Jaune!” Her voice pleaded, letting all her emotions run free. Yang reached out to him with one arm and Jaune graciously bent forward.
It hooked itself around Jaune’s neck and Yang pulled him into their hottest kiss yet. Jaune never stopped moving his hips into her. As far as he was concerned, her love was the only thing sustaining him right now. The love he had been starved of for so agonizingly long.
“I’m never letting you go again.” Jaune all but growled. “I was...so lonely. Everything hurt some way without you.”
Jaune's left hand caressed her body and clung to it as if it might slip away. Yang couldn’t help but ache and yearn even more from his words. Their shared loneliness drives them heights better than any dream they might’ve had throughout the years. He made her feel so good, so...happy.
Time seems to erase itself as they continue their intense love making. What could’ve only been around twelve or so minutes felt like hours. And as much as Yang didn’t want it to end, she had been staving off her orgasm for half of that time.
The word “close” was all she could muster to say but he got the message. Jaune leaned into her ear.
“Your voice, body, everything…” he whispered. “I want to feel all of it again.” His thrusts got even harder and Yang could only hold her head down and shut her eyes tight as his words broke her down. Teetering on the edge never felt this incredible. Finally he said the one thing that she waited to hear since they started.
“Cum for me.” His voice, extra low… “my dragon”
A nickname that should’ve been inappropriate for this moment, and yet it’s what did her in.Yang had no choice but to scream as her body gave into Jaune’s command to cum, her blazing hot core coiling around him with suffocating grip in an attempt to milk Jaune of everything he had to give.
Jaune made no attempt to resist the pleasure and his body tensed up several thrusts later. Ropes of cum spurted right into her womb. Sending strong chills across Yang’s body as she rode out her orgasm with Jaune, with quiet groans of pleasure still lingered from both of them.
Jaune finally put her leg now which surprisingly didn’t cramp. Jaune’s body nearly fell on top of Yang’s before he managed to catch himself. Now they were face to face again with eyes that were still filled with fire as well as happiness.
Yang’s finger traced his lips before giving him a quick and gentle kiss. “You’ve gotten better with age.” Her face grew red at her own compliment.
Jaune smirked. “I’m not the only one.” He took Yang’s left hand and planted a small kiss right on her wedding ring that damn near made her heart explode.
“It’s not fair, turning the sexy off and on like that.” Yang giggled. She cradled Jaune’s face and smiled. “No more lonely nights, I promise.”
A gave her a comforting nod. Yang couldn’t begin to imagine how many brave faces he had given their daughter, or the anxiety of getting terrible news over the phone. A person can only take so much and Jaune had gotten his fair share of loss. They all had, Yang wanted to take some of that pain away.
The husband and wife found themselves kissing each other again. It couldn’t be helped, they had to make up for lost time. What started off lovingly quickly turned back into something more passionate and wanting as Yang let out a sudden gasp at the feeling of Jaune getting hard while still inside of her. Good thing Arc stamina went well with Xiao Long intensity.
”One more round?” He asked, flipping back on the sexy and husky voice. It really was too powerful for Yang’s own good in most situations. Most…
Her arms went under his and held on to his well toned and muscular back. “Two, and maybe one more right after unless you can’t handle-” she couldn’t even get here tease out before she felt Jaune go a little deeper, her cocky attitude immediately went cold as Jaune whispered in Yang’s ear again.
“We’re gonna be here awhile,ready to stop walking straight?”
“Yes sir.” Yang was glad to be home.
xxxx
A couple of hours passed and Tai had decided to stop by for a visit with Ruby, Yujin, and Raven. It would be nice to have a family dinner. All four stood quietly moments after entering.
Yang was laying on the couch watching TV while Jaune was cooking. Raven noticed the carpet marks on Yang’s arm, Tail was staring at the carpet cleaner that was left out, Ruby looked at the wide open window, and Yujin could see that both parents' hair was slightly wet. There was only so many reasons to shower at this time of day.
But they all could faintly catch a whiff of something. Yujin had zero experience in anything and yet she knew deep down what she was smelling. They all looked at Yang who didn’t turn around but showed visibly red ears. Same with Jaune.
Tai sighed, can we make this a cookout?
“Great idea.” The other three said at once. Jaune and Yang covered their faces. Next time, they would at least make it upstairs.

hi! I know you’re taking a little break but whenever you come back (take all the time you need!) I would love to see a fic with a sick Remy or sick Mila and the other one takes care of the other . Xoxo
aaaa this has been in my asks for a little while and I’m sorry this took me so long. I realized that I kinda neglect Mila a bit when it comes to being sick so I decided to use her in this one!
Also, I’m sorry this is a bit rough, I’m still trying to get back into the swing of writing full length fics.
Warnings: Descriptions of vomit.
“Jesus Christ, I have been waiting to get these damn shoes off since your mother started asking about my medical background.” Mila said, slipping out of her shoes inside of the door.
“Are they really that uncomfortable?” Remy asked, closing and locking the door behind them.
“They give me blisters on the back of my feet.” She replied, frowning.
“Why do you wear them if they cause you so much trouble?”
“Because beauty is pain, Remington Paxton.” She mumbled.
“I always thought that was a stupid saying… but they do look good.” He said, wrapping his arms around her.
“Exactly, and you know better than anyone else that I have to try very hard to impress your mother.”
“Unfortunately I do.” He sighed, “Lee is with her grandparents for the weekend which means that we are open to do whatever we want.”
“Is your mind in the same place mine is?” Mila asked, grabbing his hands and pulling them tighter around her.
“That we can watch Peaky Blinders without Leah being exposed to things a 4 year old should never be.” He said into her ear.
“You know me.” She smiled, kissing his cheek. “I want to take a shower and get changed first though.”
“Okay, I will get changed and meet you down here.”
Remy was sitting on the couch scrolling through his phone when Mila came back down, she was in pajamas and her hair was pulled into a tight bun on top of her head. She sat across from him on the couch and pulled a blanket up to her shoulders.
“What’s wrong?” Remy asked, reaching out to tub her leg. She didn’t look as eager to sit down and watch TV as she had before her shower.
“Nothing, My stomach’s just a little upset.” She said, burying herself under the blankets.
Remy watched her for a second before he grabbed the remote, “Do you feel sick?” He asked nonchalantly.
She shrugged, and turned her attention to the TV. “I think I just ate too much, it’s not that big of a deal.”
He didn’t believe her, but let it go. He knew that Mila would let him know if anything was actually wrong.
They made it through about an episode and a half of their show when before Mila started dozing off, her head bobbing as she tried to keep her eyes open. After a couple minutes of watching her struggle to stay awake Remy paused the show.
“You’re not going to make it through this episode, Love. Why don’t you just head up to bed, I’ll be up in a couple minutes.”
Mila sat up and nodded, “Sorry, I don’t know what’s going on. I’m usually good until at least midnight.” She smiled tiredly.
Remy got up and rubbed her shoulders from over the back of the couch, “It’s fine, you aren’t feeling great, just try to get some sleep.”
“How long will you be?” She asked, getting up and heading toward the stairs.
“Not that long, I just want to clean up a little bit. We don’t need Leah’s things everywhere when she isn’t even here. Let me know if you need anything, okay?”
“Don’t be long.” She called behind her while she headed up to bed.
~~~~~~~~~~
“Mila.” Remy whispered when he walked into the bedroom, “Are you sleeping?”
“No.” She mumbled from her side of the bed.
“I brought you water.”
“Thank you.” She said, sitting up and taking the glass from him. She had pulled her hair down from it’s bun, the damp strands falling over her shoulders.
“Are you feeling any better?”
“I think it’s getting worse.” she said, taking a sip of water. “After a huge rich people dinner is truly the worst time to come down with a bug.”
Remy scrunched his nose, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s not your fault, you can’t help me from catching things.”
“That doesn’t stop me from wishing I could.” He said, pulling her close to him.
“Hmm, you’re too kind.” She murmured into his shirt.
“I try.” He replied quietly.
He didn’t remember falling asleep, but he did remember waking up to a commotion in the room. He lifted his head and looked around, his first instinct to look for Leah to make sure she was okay. It took him a couple seconds to remember that Leah wasn’t even in the house, but he did notice the fluorescent light flowing from underneath the bathroom door.
He got up and padded across the bedroom, tapping gently on the bathroom door. “M? Are you okay?”
He received no response save for an unpleasant sloshing sound and coughing. He slowly turned the doorknob and looked into the bathroom. Mila was kneeling in front of the toilet, holding her hair out of her face with one hand and the other on the toilet handle. Remy walked across the bathroom and sat on the edge of the tub before leaning forward and grabbing her hair. She moved her hand and gripped the toilet bowl, her body heaved and more of her stomach contents splashed into the toilet. Remy started rubbing her back with his other hand. There was only one more wave of sickness before it seemed like she was finished and she flushed the toilet.
“Can you hand me a tissue?” She asked hoarsely.
“Yeah.” Remy got up and leaned over her to grab a couple of tissues out of the box on the back of the toilet.
“Thanks.” She said, Then blew her nose and dropped the tissue into the toilet bowl before flushing again.
She sat up and sniffed before getting up onto her knees to grab a few more tissues. She wiped her eyes and blew her nose again, before throwing them into the trash can.
“Do you feel any better?” Remy asked, sitting back on the edge of the tub and putting his hand on her back.
“A little.” she said, nodding. “Sorry for waking you up.”
“Yes, M. You totally need to apologize for being sick. How dare you.” He teased.
She pushed his knee playfully, before getting up. “God, that was gross.” She said quietly, rinsing her mouth out in the sink.
“A little, yeah.” Remy mumbled, walking over to her and wrapping his arms around her from behind, “but I’m glad it’s me that gets to see you being gross.”
“Ew, if you get any cheesier I might throw up again.” She said, turning around and laying her head on his chest. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” He said, kissing the top of her head. “C’mon, let’s go back to bed.”

WELL friendos, it looks like it’s gonna be a stressful week. I did a little think last night to de-stress myself, so I figured I’d share it here with y’all as well; maybe it’ll be fun for you to look at too.
It's been a while since I've documented The Plush Hoard, so I went through it this evening!
A few notes before we begin!
-Before the "but where do YOU sleep" comments come in - I move them around when I sleep lol. The vast majority of my plushies are up on my top bunk nowadays (which u purposefully cannot see because after I was done taking pictures I just started tossing em up there and didn't feel like making them look nice jskdhgf;;; ) - I only keep my very favorites with me. Every time I blog about my plushies I get that comment and it's not funny anymore ;;
-I am not a collector that keeps my plushies on shelves or behind glass cases; one of the primary reasons I love collecting plushies is because I love soft textures, so I love hugging and cuddling with them. So some of them are pretty beat up at this point! I also have a cat and if you have a cat, you know cat hair Everywhere is just a fact of life, so if you happen to see any...sorry! I cannot possibly de-cat-hair my entire apartment at all times.
-I am not a photographer and my bedroom has crappy lighting, so these pictures aren't ~the prettiest~; the point of this is for me to just have some fun talking about one of my hobbies!
-I have cultivated this collection over years and years and years; as I said, it's one of my hobbies, and it just brings me joy!
That said, THIS GON BE A LONG POST LMFAO, so if you're on board, hop under the read more and we'll get started uvu
We shall start with the non-weeb plushies skdjfhldfg, which is the smallest cohort |D;;; of special note are the baby penguin from Sunshine City Aquarium in Ikebukuro, the moose my parents got for me in Alaska, the big doofy red panda my college roommates got me for my birthday one year, and the dragon. THE DRAGON IS WEIGHTED. The dragon is delightful oh my god all plushies should be weighted;;;
Ghibli plushies! I got the vast majority of these while I was physically in Japan - the only two that I didn't were the foxsquirrel and the Totoro on top of it. The soot sprite I got at the Ghibli Museum itself uvu
Digimon plushies! I wish there were more decently sized Digimon plushies TAT;; (I like bigger plushies because they are easier to hug ok) The Culumon and Viximon (? I think I'm remembering that name right: Renamon's in-training form, the yellow fox blob sdjfgdfg) are bootlegs I am very sorry ;;; My Digimon Plush Goal is to somehow find an official Culumon someday TAT;;; I rlly like Culumon there was a period of time in elementary school where I drew nothing but Culumon so lol.
Random fandom plushies! Lessee, what's represented here...Sanrio, Hamtaro, Madoka, Heartcatch Precure, Higurashi, OneShot, Made in Abyss, Re:Zero, Undertale, and Deltarune! Ralsei's hat and glasses obviously come off...I, full disclosure, do not know where they are. They are probably under my bed somewhere sjkdfghsdg;;;;
OK HERE WE GO: most of my plushies are Pokemon plushies. What can I say...they're just so much fun to collect TAT;;; first up are a couple groups of miscellaneous babbies; you will soon see I like collecting some Pokes over others...
Miscellaneous babbies part two! See the lil Riolu? When I lived with my parents still, that Riolu was Joji's favorite plushie to steal |D;; she would semi-regularly come into my room and take plushies from me, but that one she took far more often than any other. She's such a small dog no damage was ever done, but still...Joji these are mine, not yours!
Miscellaneous babbies part three! This was originally meant to be legendary/mythical Pokes but then I remembered Raboot and Galarian Ponyta and was like "OH NO I HAVE TO INCLUDE THEM" I am not very good at this jsdhfglsjfdg
'pixs! (and two Ninetales) I have a very vivid memory of watching the first episode Vulpix appeared in in the anime and wanting a plushie of one so bad, but alas they were certainly not readily available to me yet, so I carried around a Simba plushie I had that evening pretending it was a Vulpix xD so if little me could see my Vulpix collection now she'd be very happy!!
'vees! ...I like me an Eevee, what can I say. There's actually one Eevee that's missing from this pic - I told you I'm not very good at this |D;;;
...oh there were TWO Eevees missing and I stuck them in this pic lol I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT I TOOK PICTURES OF HOORAY
anyway, Eeveelutions! I obviously favor certain evolutions over others |3 Eventually I would like to get at least one Espeon, Glaceon and Leafeon, just to say I have them all. But there is one more Eeveelution that I couldn't fit here...
...cause she BIG. My life-sized Sylveon takes the prize of biggest plushie I own. She hangs out at the foot of my bed uvu (also her ears are top heavy/don't have any wires in them so they've clearly flopped backwards...but she cute any way you slice it TAT)
THE PIKAS. ...Somehow I thought I had more Pikas than this. (Oh wait, I DO...they're just coming later cause they're in a special category |3 ) this is still a good amount of Pikas! Detective Pika is extraordinarily soft he's very good TAT;;;
also two Raichu cause I don't have enough Raichu to take a separate pic of.
Mimis! I have a couple other Mimis that are also in the special category coming up hehe. Big Mimi was stuck in customs for a month after I got him so I'm glad he made it home eventually TAT;;;
HERE WE GO I have...a lot of Litten. Litten is my baby. Best Poke-kitty for me. I love my Litten TAT/////
PICHU PICHU PICHUUUU!!! My ultimate baby TAT///// Pichu so good...so happy to have so many Pichu...aaaa/////
but wait, there are Absol here too?? Well, yes, of course. For I am a Pichu and my love is an Absol. So. I had to take pictures of the plushies together uvu
Some Large Friends that got their own picture. That rolly Charizard was the first thing I ever won from a crane game; I was ridiculously proud of myself |D;;;
SPECIAL CATEGORY: Halloween Pokes!!!! The PokeCen always has an Extremely Good Halloween campaign and it makes me angry...they're all so good...TAT////////
Aaand! Best for last!! SE plushies T//u//T
The middle two Souls are very beat up, ahaha....I've had the smaller one for over a decade and the bigger one for almost a decade, so...they've gotten a lot of love//// (plus it is also funny to tease Soul - u know I'd give u a hug over the plushies any day baaaaaabe u3u)
I really want to get Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki too, but Tsubaki is SUPER hard to find and I don't want to get Liz and Patty and not her TAT;;; there are also Excalibur plushies...............but I think I'm ok without an Excalibur plushie sjdkfghsdfg
OH also not pictured; I do have a plush Shinigami glove |D
So! There it is! The hoard! If I were a dragon this would be my treasure hoard! It was nice to go through this so if you went through it with me I hope you had fun too!

stimmypaw reads the apprentice’s quest, a blog post
A big one, just a bunch of thoughts as I’m reading it, of course, lots of spoilers for the first book in the Warrior Cats series A Vision of Shadows. This will be covering just the first book tho, it’s all in the Read More, let’s gooooooo!!!!
Vision Of Shadows time
Lots of new cats!!! I don't remember these guys as kits or anything wrow!!! I like their names but itll take a while to get used to them
Also cant believe they printed stormcloud's dead name
Omg there's a cat named beepaw
I love these cats all of them so much im going 2 cry
All new names are perfect
I FORGOT HOW GORGEOUS THE CAT VIEW IN THE RECENT BOOKS WAS, LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
I'm glad leafpool smokes weed
I love reading from Jayfeather's point of view, his grumpiness hasn't grown on me ever but thats just me, I still enjoy it lots he's great and its fun
Firestar and Leopardstar's characterizations are On Point i love it
OOF i feel so bad when jayfeather is mean to others, poor kestrelflight, I love those two
Lovely Jayfeather moments now its time for the first chapter
I like this duo! Also I didn't think I'd ever say this but shut up squirrelflight one can have fun AND learn with their mentors
Sparkkit sounds nice she makes jingling bell noises when she walks around
Alderkit is chadphobic /j
I can see Alderkit taking deep breaths to relax its rotating in my mind its beautiful
God this first chapter feels so good and comfortable, like eating noodles and chicken nuggets. I am so so deeply in love with it, its gorgeous!
Sparkkit is so perfect too, and Graystripe remembering Firestar aaaaaa
DUSTPELT SAID WHAT? PHDHAHAHHA OH NOOOO I don't remember their relationship much, must have been fun, I love young little creature squirrelflight I MISSED HER SO BAD WOW
I started reading the second chapter and died, I think ill take a break now 2 sleep heehhee
I love them describing twoleg stuff its always so fun and alien, like watching an animal planet show about funny sea creatures.
Also I have determined sparkpaw is my favorite, might be my favorite cat ever next to hollyleaf??? I really identify with her and also she's autistic i have decided that
Alderpaw baby noooo hhhh their mentor at least is trying to show its okay, he seems very emotionally distant so far and alderheart feels very emotionally needy, actually both of them do, did I mention I love Sparkpaw??? I might be imprinting myself 2 much on her
I love how like, its clear both of them are absolutely anxious and worried about others opinions on them, which is clearly something they got from being Firestar's grandkids, deputy kids and leader kids. And bramblestar too, I recall him being quite the anxious lad ahhah. Sparkpaw will be showing confidence and being loud but the second anyone isn't approving of her or she does something "wrong" she gets small and quiet, and she ended up setting a high bar for herself by being good at hunting and fighting so I'm curious to see how that will go. Also there's nothing wrong with being guided through a crowded place to meet others Sparkpaw!!! I bet the two of them would be stuck without not knowing how to talk to others had Needlepaw not shown up. I love them, my gf is mocking me saying I'm a Sparkpaw kinnie.
Apprentices will like learn about a thing and tell everyone about it all the time and assume its always true in every situation and thats valid I love kids like that. Also in my head Needlepaw kinda looks like a porcupine. Oh boo she's fatphobic >:(
I love apprentices they are so fun and silly, just making fun of the leaders like its nothing. The way they are clearly learning and absorving everything their warriors say and do like sponges its just ***chefs kiss***
Omg shadowclan is just full of 12 year olds help
And then the old person said "it sure is hard being old!" And everyone clapped
Shout-out to pretty Riverclan apprentice #481977 I love her
Leafpool: 👁👁
Alderpaw: I knew it im cursed and awful and terrible and I will never amount to anything
I wish the cats didn't seem to be giving up on him so easily though
Ah yes the classic thunderclan move "you suck, into the medicine hole you go"
The way sparkpaw changes the things she says and how she does when it isn't the status quo around her oooooooooooooyeaaaaaaa I love 1 autistic cat
Alderpaw considering your problems lesser than other cats won't help you deal with them better bro
I love Needlepaw's excitement about Alderpaw being a medicine cat apprentice, and her sarcasm, she feels like a preppy teenager
Ahhh this is so good, I am so thirsty for family moments like this, just Alderpaw bonding with grandma, I’ll definitely want to draw this one it’s so sweet.
Oh to be young and silly.
I really am enjoying like, Alderpaw’s struggles to seeing how he fits in the clan, how he fits in himself, how he wants to be seen and what he wants to be, it’s really good. I Am Engaged(tm) With This Plot.
SPARKPAW NOOOOOOO but also Yes I want her to be shown vulnerable and weak please
POP, god watching this stuff always awful, the cats must have thought he broke her ahahah
Also, really great that they learned from Dovewing and now like leave choices and discussions about prophecies between adults
And plus Brambles seemed to take the time to explain stuff to him, seems he wont be going alone either the 1 thing is that he will be the only one knowing what the journey is really about, why though??? I didnt read Firestar's Quest or whatever why does Skyclan need to be secret??? Seems quite silly really!
YESSSS SANDSTORM GET HIS ASS FIGHT FIGHT LOVE THIS LOVE SANDSTORM
I could feel squirrelflight nearing explosion here, this was very fun, i wish they werent hiding this though!!!
The secret thing is showing to be a plot point so I am once again Very Engaged
Also, wonderful dialogue bit, someone asked Bramblestar why an Elder is going and:
Lovely perfect perfect
I miss you dovewing
SQUIRRELFLIGHT LOVE YOU
Oh boy this is it
Traveling book moment
Graystripe: Soooo you're excited to go on the journey to the old territories and Skyclan?
Sandstorm: Yes! It's been ages and-
Graystripe: I'm sure the tribe will love the visit too
Sandstorm, groaning: Oh noooo I forgot about how the tribe is in the way of every journeyyyyy noooooo they're such a racist caricature, please tell me you have a plan
Graystripe: Yes don't worry about it the writers forgot about the tribe in my comic book so you can just use the excuses i did to actively avoid it
Sandstorm: Oh thank Starclan
Sparkpaw's desperation to prove herself oof, her anxiety with understanding the prophecy, oh boy, and Alderpaw feeling too overwhelmed by the questions and not managing to talk!!!! I am so glad they are both autistic
Hoping "Being Leader" wont mean theyre putting nonsense responsibility on the apprentice again
Ah good Sandstorm is on the lead again, as she should, she should have been leader she would have been great
I can't believe Alderpaw thinks I look stupid and diseased :( /j
Everything about this twoleg scene was scandalous I loved it, Sparkpaw just toppled over a trash bag and they are eating from it, iconic, also did those twolegs throw out a whole turkey? Damn
Its not that Sparkpaw is freakishly good at hunting she is very hungry and constantly on the watch for things to eat
BRO Ive never been in a road where the drivers are this wild, throwing bottles out of the car????? Ive seen Fruit being thrown like once or twice, what the fuck!!! I'm glad they are going to wait until the morning to continue
Okay I was not expecting Needlepaw to show up this girl is chaotic I love her
ACTUALLY YEAH WHY DIDNT THEY TELL THE OTHER CLANS ABOUT THIS SINCE THE PROPHECY IS ABOUT ALL THE CLANS???
Needlepaw is like Rono from Bambi 2 if he wasnt a mean bully and thats very epic
Very curious character though, how come her mentor isnt teaching her the warrior code properly? Is that an issue with all apprentices?? Is the clan overwhelmed by 12 year olds and they won?
Having lots of fun trying to play the game "what animal are they describing this time" the erins made here, im glad they're in a farm. Worried about Sandstorm though :c
Fuck im worried about sandstorm a lot, her wound hurt on Me
Yeah water is good youre right sandstorm
Aw man I hope she's okay let her at least survive to meet skyclan please
NOOOOOOOO SANDSTORMA A AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Sandtteooonrjrbbbmmnnnnnnnnnn
I am so sad
Alderpaw denying it, Starclan shining upon their vigil, everything crushed me i cried
Alderpaw considers Nihilism
Haven't seen a cat thank starclan for prey in a while its
Oh look they time skipped a journey! They don't tend to do that thats nice
I'm so excited to be meeting The Skyclan that everyone in the fandom knows now
So far they seem kinda mean but thats most clans at first glance really
Okay somethings up
I uh have heard of Darktail pretty sure he's a bad guy so yeah something really bad happened to Skyclan
Am worried
Darktail sounds like an evil himbo* i may be enjoying him actually
*himbos are usually nice by default so he's just evil and stupid and strong
Does needletail know these cats already?????
Ah
Shit
Oh okay fuck
I've been quietly reading the rest because I am just concerned and I want them to be okay as quickly as possible
Waterfalls are a classic nice
Oh boy time for our unlikely duo of Alderpaw and Needlepaw to get out of a Mess!
I did not expect this to end up with the two of them journeying into parenthood, but I'm happy it did
Well actually I'm very unhappy theyre so lost and there's no sign of Skyclan I am very worried for everyone involved Sparkpaw must be feeling awful!
Twigkit is a great name
Yeah this ended terribly
Overall! Frigging loved it this book was GOOD and a great start for the series I am very excited to read the rest, SO WORRIED ABOUT SKYCLAN THO AAAA the characterizations were great the characters were great the pacing was fun and I didn't get bored once!
I think o only wish I had read this sooner really so I could look up others thoughts without getting heavily spoiled about the last books, I can watch a few videos already though thats a start ahhaha. But yeah it was great and it felt very good to read, haven't swallowed up a book so quickly in a very long time!!! Very happy I finally got my hands on this 💕💖💕💖💕💖 cant wait 2 start the next one
If you read all this, hope you had fun hahaha, ill be making more of these cus theyre fun and I like talking about warrior cats thats just my thing
Til next time

Oh my gosh Shirooooo <3 bae hiiii :D that's so lucky, I hope you guys see each other :] also, how's prep going?? How does it feel to be back in school? Hope everything's well. I'm sure you're acing all your questions (as usual ;)
ooh, I overslept today morning. It was NOT pretty. I woke up because I had a school meeting and my teacher was like "Ariana switch your camera on" and (grr I was forced to) I looked so sleepy 😭 because I had literally just woke up. Talk about embarassing smh. but I have holidays till Monday! in commemoration with my second favourite holiday; Chinese New Year (it's the year of the ox ˃ᴗ˂)
aww :(( at least pretend to sleep, if I ever attempt convincing you then :] I'll hug you (and I have a firm grip when I'm half asleep 😪) flashcards?? I see!! Do you use Quizlet? I'm sure you can do it, you're capable of that (and so much more!!) I love you too, bae.
lmao it was. They've asked us to submit pictures of ourselves for this year's magazine. So thankfully, no sorting.
nah, it was a good one. You're so cute shjxjsks. Rip the pictures, but there's space for more :D oh my gosh I understand that!! Like 😭😭 do I have time for another fandom?? No. Does my brain listen?? Also no (my brain had apparently decided we're gonna be simping over Darren Criss for the next 10 business days. Don't ask me why, but I've watched every single one of the movies/series he's starred in.)
Oh btw!! I tried creating an oc (this is my first time don't judge 🥺🥺) anyways, she's so cool, I WANT TO BE HER. Or marry her, idk whichever works.
just my dad 😌 my mom and the rest of my family have a very long way to go, but i try educating them whenever I can. Thanks for saying that, and I really hope the world changes in the future. There's literally no place for prejudice anymore :( but despite all that, the most important part is that our families love us, and although there are some things we wish could change over time, I'm so glad for that precious fact.
haha I see :'D that's right, tho I'm so happy you've settled into a schedule!! A bummer, but there'll be those teatimes, right?
that shirt. It's so cute I might cry. The frog 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺. f o r g
Aaaa yep yep. I miss you so much too. But I'm really thankful no matter how busy our lives get, we always manage to find a way to reply every once in a while. It really makes me realize that we're meant to be friends, yk? like not even the lack of time or the (unfortunate) abundance of distance can stop us. I find that special. And by God that just made me realize how much I truly love you. Which is; A LOT.
—Ari
Hello!!!! Happy late valentine's day!!
Look at this thing I made, tbh my first time making a valentine card and it was so funny. This ones for you<3
It's going well!! We had a cool party yesterday, not for Vs day (we done celebrate that here) but for Abi's day! That's basically our mentors' celebration. Our grade threw a concert for them with games and performances, and I was leading the whole show? Like, I introduced the performances and games and etc. It was nerve wrecking but I survived, and they liked it! We had huge fun. Glad I didnt have to dance. Also, we tried making that frog cake (have you seen it?) And I didnt take a pic (I asked my friend but he still hasnt so uhm) but as good as it tasted, the frog looked more like a green blob. But he (abi) liked it anyway
Ouchhh😭😭 I know, I remember one time when I overslept and literally had one minute to set everything up so I delayed hygiene and breakfast to later. When I was eventually forced to turn on my camera I looked like this
Also that's so cool I hope your holidays were good!! Happy Chinese new year!!
Nahh I use some random flashcards app because quizlet was too heavy for my poor phone to handle, but now I fixed it so I think I should try that one. Thank you for the idea!!
OMG SHE'S SO WONDERFUL I LOVE HER SO MUCH I ADORE HER HAIR AND !!! AND !!!!!! Dont worry love she's great !!! 🥺🥺
Yeah, that's true. Too bad for my family that I dont love them😘 okay I'm so sorry for ruining the vibe, you're absolutely right !! I'm really glad too.
Well, sometimes, yeah! But usually the mentors are really busy, and it gets kinda lonely since I'm alone from my class. Well, there is one guy, but he goes home after 5, so yeah hes not here for a while
Ohh I'm always so surprised with the way you speak. I really find myself struggling with the answer when you say something as good as that because tbh all I can say is "🥺🥺🥺 yeah" but yes!!! It makes me really happy. I'm very glad to be your friend!! I love you so much, Ari ♡♡♡ I hope you're having a great day
Also, have a funnie
This is literally me with all my characters

The Underground Arena - Part 2
[Part 1]
Part 2 is finally ready! :D Prepare to meet Claude for real ~ (And not just him :3)
Tag list (aaaa TvT): @whumpthisway @theycomeinthrees @newandfiguringitout @lonesome--hunter
Warnings: everything that was intoduced in the first chapter, references to violence, injuries
—
Vincent’s head is throbbing. Not just his head; he’s hurting everywhere, everywhere.
What happened to him? The last thing he remembers is… Greta’s face, the edges of her eyes crinkled from smiling, and the black walls of the break room, and… The Reaper.
Did his opponent hit him on the head? Why can’t he move?
He tries to focus; his eyelids feel heavy, and he can’t open them enough to see past the blurriness. It hurts to breathe. The surface he’s lying on is cold, and the smell is familiar; he’s still at the Underground Arena. Maybe he was knocked out in the ring and he hasn’t gotten up yet. Maybe he needs to get up.
But no – he’s not in the ring, he’s in the break room. The walls are black, instead of dark red. There’s no crowd shouting, no glaring lights just above his head. He could be at the fighters’ quarters, but it’s too quiet. There’s nobody shouting, or crying, or fighting over a can of beans. So he must be at the break room.
There are voices around him – two of them, he thinks. He wills his mind to change the sounds into words, eventually managing to hang onto part of the conversation.
“…as well get rid of him now.”
“He’s still young. He’ll heal.”
He recognizes the first person immediately. It’s a voice he hears nearly every day, sometimes even in his sleep – a mere concussion won’t rid his mind of the bastard who calls himself his owner.
“Doc said it’ll be months, and he would never be the same without proper medical attention. It’ll be a waste of our money to even keep him alive that long,” Claude says. The man’s slender silhouette is gradually taking shape in front of Vincent’s eyes as he blinks.
His stomach drops as soon as the words sink in.
“If you say so. I still think we’ll be throwing away one of our best fighters...” the second person replies. It takes some time, but Vincent recognizes him, too; it’s Kyle, one of Claude’s men – the one who brought Vincent to him.
Vincent doesn’t see him around much, but he definitely likes him better than Claude – which was, well, a pretty low bar to begin with. But there’s something slightly calming about Kyle. He just doesn’t feel dangerous, like everyone else in the Arena. Had he been a fighter, the others would’ve eaten him alive, Vincent is sure. Although, he of all people should know that this kind of place can change a person quickly enough. It changed him – it only took a year or so, for him to stop feeling during fights altogether. To stop feeling bad about it all. It’s not like he has made any choice that was truly his own during the past few years.
There’s a pause after Kyle speaks. Vincent’s sight is mostly clear, now – he can feel both men’s eyes on him.
“He’s waking up,” Claude says.
Kyle crosses his arms. “You tell him.”
Claude rolls his eyes at him. Then he grins broadly at Vincent, that smile that nobody really likes. “I have some good news and some bad news for you,” he says. “Which would you like to hear first?”
You’re going to kill me, Vincent’s mind supplies, and then goes quiet. “The good news,” he croaks. The taste in his mouth is awful.
He thinks he can move a bit now, but everything hurts too much, so he stays still.
“You’re getting out, Vince!” Claude says, waving his hands excitedly. “The bad news is, you probably won’t be around for it. But you’ll have your own lovely spot in a ditch, or perhaps the bottom of a lake! Which one would you prefer?” He steeples his fingers and leans forward, as if eager to hear his reply.
Vincent swallows – his throat feels tight. So this is it, then. He wonders where Greta is. If she knows. He thinks of the fighter with the mark on his chin, how he never returned to the fighters’ quarters after his last fight – how Claude never even spoke of what happened, until the fighters who had been there the longest decided he was dead and helped themselves to his things.
Greta won’t have to ask, because she’ll know. It’s happened before. He doesn’t want to picture her waiting alone in the break room from now on, but it’s all he can think about.
Even if he expected this to happen, it’s still too sudden. It was all over so quickly, it’s like he hardly even got a chance. (A chance to do what? The last time anything truly mattered was years ago.) He can’t even cry, which is probably a good thing, because breaking down in front of Claude is the last thing he needs right now. Not that it really matters; he’s going to die soon.
He’s going to die soon. During the past three years, he’s spent quite some time fearing for his life, but never like this. Never in a situation where he couldn’t do anything, couldn’t fight. He feels so helpless. And Greta isn’t here.
God, he’s never going to see Greta again.
He wants to ask what happened to him, but he can’t even get the words out. He only manages a soft “why,” as small and broken as he feels.
He wishes they’ll give him an answer. Even though there probably isn’t anything they could possibly say to him that would make him feel any better about being killed. He knows that begging is no use, and if Claude has already decided he’s useless, he isn’t going to change his mind.
“You remember The Reaper? Big guy with some serious anger issues? Lots of chest hair?” Kyle asks, gesturing as he speaks. Vincent is thankful that he’s the one answering his question – at least he won’t joke about it. “Yeah. Turns out the guy was… even angrier than he looked. He knocked you out, and then he kept hitting you until he was stopped, which, well…” He winces. “The audience had gotten excited, nobody stopped him for a while.”
It’s all coming back to him, if a bit slowly. The fight was going better than he had expected; he was holding his ground well enough, landing some good blows while dodging the worst of what The Reaper threw at him. The audience was bigger and louder than what he was used to, screaming and shouting alongside the tireless chorus in Vincent’s head.
He was getting weary, though, and anxiety and fear made him disoriented. He barely saw the hit coming – The Reaper aimed straight for his head. He felt pain, then dizziness. Panic seized him as he quickly found himself on the floor under the larger man, receiving blow after blow. A normal fight would have ended by now, he knew. Instead, The Reaper placed his shoe on Vincent’s left hand, and then pressed until something cracked. He straddled him as Vincent screamed and started beating him with his fists, like Vincent was a cheap punching bag that was to be disposed of later. When it was clear that he was not getting up, he kept hitting him. When the pain got so bad that Vincent could hardly feel it, he passed out.
He wonders how long it took for anyone to interfere. Wasn’t Claude around? He would have tried to stop it the moment it ceased to be about exchanging blows. Then again, it’s not always easy to stop a fight when a fighter isn’t done.
Leonard has probably paid for the damage caused by his fighter already. Kyle said that all this happened because The Reaper went overboard and nobody stopped him, but Vincent wouldn’t be surprised if The Reaper was simply following orders. Many of the people who go to rings are eager to see Death Fights, but most owners don’t let their fighters participate in those, so they rarely happen. And some people just aren’t used to not getting what they want.
“He broke your right leg,” Kyle continues, “some of your fingers... probably your arm, too. And Doc guessed that there are also some broken ribs in there… but you’re still alive, so it probably won’t kill you. If you stay lying down like that.”
“I wouldn’t worry about that,” Claude chimes in.
Vincent shifts a little, hearing the bench he’s lying on creak under him. He stills, hoping the sorry thing won’t collapse while he’s still on it – that would hurt like hell, and he hasn’t cried so far. It’d be nice if they’d just taken him straight to his room at the fighters’ quarters, but the break room is closer to the ring. He just can’t imagine them putting in the extra effort.
Besides, he gets why no doctor would want to examine a patient at the fighters’ quarters – that place is cramped, noisy, it stinks, and there are always fighters who have nothing better to do than glare at you very intensely from across the room. Occasionally, a fight might break out. So all in all, it’s not a great place to treat a patient. Even if the people they call doctors down here are just thugs picked off the streets, who’ve learned everything they know through trial and error. They carry out their surgeries with questionable tools, half-ass their jobs, and charge extra for anesthetic, but they’re convenient because they won’t go around telling outsiders about it.
Kyle doesn’t say anything else.
“When,” Vincent starts, then he has to pause. God, it hurts too much. He tries again, “When will you do it?”
Claude shrugs. So does Kyle. Like it just doesn’t matter.
Vincent closes his eyes – there’s little else he can do, in his state.
If only they had let The Reaper finish the job, they would have probably been able to wring more money out of his owner.

Brickclub 1.1.1 - 2 + Introduction
Hello! I’m Alice she/her/hers, trying to catch up to brick club, not the sharpest pencil in the drawer, knows near nothing, so this’ll be something of a miscellaneous collection of rambles just for myself and hopefully it’ll work out!
1.1.1
M. Myriel! I adore you and I’ve missed you terribly
Footnotes and app “common knowledge” say that the inspiration for M. Myriel is de Miollis, bishop of Digne from 1806 to 1838, emigrated to Rome during the revolution, anti-napoleon, bought back church land confiscated by the frev.
Mgr Myriel dans les miserables
According to this article, which I cannot understand since it is in French, jvj was based on pierre Morin, released after 5 years in prison for stealing bread for his sister’s starving family, couldn’t find a job or shelter, was taken in by the aforementioned bishop and died in the battle of Waterloo - does this have anything to do w the pontmercy?
de miollis was born 19 june, 1753 instead of? 1815 - 75 = 1740? I couldn’t find anything remotely interesting that happened in 1740 except marquis de sade’s birth and hopefully that was an unfortunate coincidence.
he had 15 siblings, 7 of whom died young, 4 brothers, 4 sisters. of whom one brother took on the family business of conseiller, two (i think) were generals under napoleon - family dinners must’ve been difficult - and the last was a prefect. Hugo says Myriel had 2 brothers, a prefect and a general, which is close enough. de Moillis does not have a sister baptistine, but he does have a sister named anne magdeleine de moillis, married to a marquis, with a servant named genevieve. the article says perhaps hugo thought the name genevieve too noble for a servant, which i find silly bc magloire’s a perfectly lovely name. so i went in looking for his relationship with baptistine and felt terribly cheated to realize hugo had fabricated the sister almost entirely which i suppose is fair.
I think the article says that de Moillis was given the position bc his brother was a general under napoleon. and that the hospital thing fabricated as well but! i’m sloth and articles are so entirely dull.
A 17th century precursor to Mgr Myriel
This article posits that the creation M. Myriel was influenced by Lancelot’s 17th century novel relation d'un voyage d'aleth which sounds terribly interesting and i must look into it aaaand i’m terribly off topic
SO ANYHOW:
Myriel emigrated to Italy just as the revolution began and when Napoleon left Italy for France, one by fortune and the other by choice. And he said he was a good man while Napoleon was a great man - I promised myself I’d get throw the next book to call Napoleon a great man at the wall, but alas, I’m reading this digitally - so they’re somewhat opposites!
Myriel was in an arranged marriage and indulged in affairs, which his later parishioners v consciously forgot, which? I suppose? Shows his love for them is more unconditional than theirs for him? And could? Well? Parallel how ppl were so reluctant to look into the past of Madeleine and how easily they forsook poor jvj as soon as the v ancient news reemerged
Young myriel sounds like such a riot! A bit like? Courfeyrac aka the nicer tholomyès aw imagine if he were cosette’s father instead? I’m sure he wouldn’t abandon her Oh no I’m off topic but I suppose Hugo here’s either saying? Affairs aren’t virtuous and so ppl are capable of change - which would be hypocritical of him - or affairs are ok as long as you take responsibility and such which? i suppose I can get behind. Of course, with the ease of getting divorces nowadays, hopefully people wouldn’t stay in loveless arranged marriages. I remember, when I first read the book, being rather discomfited by the way Myriel seems to ignore how his actions affect women who depend on him? Such as the voluntary scarcity he not only devoted himself to but also foisted upon his sister and sweet Magloire. And? now the way he cheated on his wife, who probably wished no part in this relationship either, but has less freedom than he does in this marriage but ah now I’m terribly off topic and bumming myself out.
I wish there were more said on the 30 years they were married, on their exile to italy, i want to know it all! “Nobody knows” says the omniscient narrator oh come on Hugo spill the beans on myriel! I am the brainless gossiping mob tell me everything
I love magloire and baptistine’s descriptions I love them both! Hugo says a lady needs to be a mother to be venerable but i think that’s just you Hugo you have this odd thing for feral saintly mothers and who can blame you. Mlle. baps is an aspiration! mme. Magloire too! She’s so hard working despite being ill, and it just isn’t right she should be the only one to be so busy when she has asthma
I know I shouldn’t ship them but reason escapes me
1740: born
1758- 1760: 18-20 arranged marriage
1790ish: 50ish emigrated to Italy - wife died of? consumption?
1806: 66 become bishop
1815: 75 current
Cool quotes:
“La révolution survint, les événements se précipitèrent, les familles parlementaires décimées, chassées, traquées, se dispersèrent.” - it flows so nicely!
“M. Myriel devait subir le sort de tout nouveau venu dans une petite ville où il y a beaucoup de bouches qui parlent et fort peu de têtes qui pensent.” - such a burn and this is me! little brain and much tongue
on Mme. Baps: “et cette diaphanéité laissait voir l'ange… Sa personne semblait faite d'ombre … un peu de matière contenant une lueur ; de grands yeux toujours baissés ; un prétexte pour qu'une âme reste sur la terre.” aaa i adore this so much! to imagine her angelic, respectable, and made of shadows!
1.1.2
Onto chapter 2! So um I know this is terribly off topic, but nap the bonbon said that an archbishop would have a stipend of 15000 francs while a bishop would be given 10000 francs, and this book published after les mis still cited the same numbers as well so it’s odd that Myriel has an annual stipend of 15000 francs? AHHh also! bonbon said that rectors - one class of them at least - would be paid 1500 francs annually, and i’m not entirely sure, but isn’t a curé a rector? as hugo said, myriel never really took more money than he needed. BUT he allocated 1000 francs instead of 1500 for his personal stipend and so I’m! very! confused! i feel like i’m v earnestly explaining how a triangle has four sides. i swear i’ll move on.
(adding on oh god i just realized?? baps gets 500 a year? i really hope myriel isn’t counting her pension as part of his own personal expenses... though itt does say that “Avec ces quinze cents francs, ces deux vieilles femmes et ce vieillard vivaient.” but that would be rather despicable)
I love the part where he converts the palace to a hospital! hugo started off by describing the extravagance and grandeur of it all, and then juxtaposing it to? the hospital and myriel’s decision to swap houses and there’s something terribly satisfying about the layout. just. how it ends with “Il y a erreur, je vous dis. Vous avez mon logis, et j'ai le vôtre. Rendez-moi ma maison. C'est ici chez vous.” it all wraps so nicely!
The book reiterates how Myriel’s family was ruined by the frev - to what extent, for both of his brothers are employed by the napoleonic government. To that end, it almost appears as a sort of denouncement of violent social change. However, that isn’t quite what myriel believes, it seems, at least according to his budget? since he allocates more to the People as opposed to family, so i’m very confused. Perhaps Hugo is saying that the sacrifices of a few good men who benefit from an unjust system is necessary.
Myriel took the transportation fee! it was hilarious. of course, i do have mixed feelings because M. Préameneau was right, it’s ridiculous for someone in such a small parish to apply for a carriage fee, which was at least partially why Myriel ultimately chose the donkey. and i’m supposing this most likely sets a terrible precedent for the next bishop of digne who might not have similar philanthropist sentiments. so Hugo’s saying we’re allowed to take advantage of a broken system as long as our own ends are good? how machiavellian! and the buildup was hilarious even if we all knew myriel would never pocket the money himself. poor Mme. Magloire though, it sounded like the household really could have used the money. I think the way she said? that he began by being kind with other people, and now he will end with us? it’s almost rather tragic. that he should’ve neglected the feelings of the people closest to him.
Hugo seems to have? Baps represent the spirit and Magloire the body, or at least more worldly worries, which seems rather classist of him . I suppose it might be a necessary evil of liking symbols so much - you inevitably fall into stereotypes - and i do love them both, but it makes me uncomfortable.
Posts from other ppl I want to keep:
pilf:
- “il y a toujours encore plus de misère en bas que de fraternité en haut, tout était donné, pour ainsi dire, avant d'être reçu” + charity
- that baps “venerates” her brother, and that he lists all their monetary needs as his own personal expenses, despite the fact that they are the ones managing the household and the money and that they are living off the money same as him, and?? baps only gets 500 yearly, half of what her brother considers a meagre sum
- and aaaa i love how pilf said that it isn’t an admirable move to force those around you to live according to your own morals. just. yes. baps and magloire don’t esp have a choice. and?? magloire and baps really did carry the brunt of the burden. Myriel was able to stay afloat “grâce à la sévère économie de madame Magloire et à l'intelligente administration de mademoiselle Baptistine.”
akallabeth:
- how the specificness of the itemized list shows intent and research into the most underserved individuals + causes in his parish: 1. soup for hospital 2. debtors w families
- “And he calls the almsgiving his household expenses. The young man asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” The bishop responds, “The poor are my family.”” (i couldn’t find this quote! but it is amazing!)
- pfff his swanky, company-provided house. i love it
- 15000 francs approx 3 mil usd or 58 workers’ annual wages, which means?? bap’s pension is worth? two adult male workers’ wages? wow
- Myriel uses vous for Magloire
#brickclub#1.1.1#baploire#i love them so much!#1.1.2#hopefully i grow less confused as time goes on#how i wish i had a brain#i'm sorry this became so long i must've been too excited

To Violet
This past summer, I travelled all the way to the United States. I worked at the Nah Her Wah camp in New Jersey, near Milford PA.
Today I was thinking back on the year and I couldn't help but remember Violet. She was one of my campers. She's about ten years old and gods do I love that kid.
It's been months since I last saw her, nevertheless, during the four weeks she was my camper, idk I think I had a strong mother-daughter or sistery-ish kind of bond with her, and Idk I'm sad I won't see her again.
Man, I loved that kid. She has dyslexia, just like me, and she is creative and lively and fun and made me laugh a lot, she was also very respectful and nice, we'd sing Hamilton and Dear Evan Hensen together, those are my best memories from the summer.
Part of my mind is convinced I adopted her and I'm missing my child, gods, isn't that ridiculous? It feels so
Somewhere in the United States Violet is singing Hamilton, and exclaiming aAAA DYSLEXIA, and that somehow is a calming thought.
I hope you're doing fine Vi. I hope the school system doesn't crush your little creative soul, please, please resist that, darling. I hope you never stop being your crazy fantastic feminist self. I hope you have so much fun. I hope you know what a brilliant, brilliant kid you are, I hope you are somewhere where you can sing and be happy.
I wish I could be there for you when you are sad, like those times when you were upset back in camp. I will always be rooting for you, kiddo, I hope you remember me every time you play Tuti Fruti, I know you'll never read this, but kiddo I'm always proud of you.

Time to talk about my year and some people I’ve met / Been around a lot in 2018.
Alright, So I started 2018 off in the South park fandom, as I did in 2017 as well. It was fine until Drama started rolling in and I started openly talking about my problems. I got ignored a lot and Had to have some of my actual BFF’s calm me down at times. It had been a shitty few months in this year, Most of the people I use to talk to stopped talking to me, Blocked me or have deactivated and lost contact with. But There’s good some good memories in there, I met a few people I called my family and I love them dearly, I met my lovely girlfriend...and Ex girlfriend this year as well.
School sucked, I moved a lot and well I still don’t have any real life friends besides my cousin and best friend who I rarely see because She’s gone off to CEGEP / University ATM. I got bullied again and got called names a lot, I’ve gotten comments about my looks and my problems and How I always looked so depressed and down all the time. I guess that was because I was having a shitty time...I mean, I had been moving around a lot, I moved schools 4-5 times in the past 2 years and honestly I was just getting tired of being stabbed in the back by people. So This was the year I started cutting myself, Crying myself to sleep, being more quiet about being sad and triggers started affecting me even more then they use to. My family was being a bitch, My mother was making me her slave while she was on crutches, my dad and I fought, I wanted to move in with my grandmother, I wanted to run away a few times as well.
Good things that came out of this year actually was I started learning a lot about myself, Like Gender issues and Sexuality. I learned that I really liked girls A LOT. I figured out my art style and kept developing on it. I joined a fandom I was accepted in, Made some really great and beautiful people and Got myself a lovely girlfriend that I love so much. I moved back to my old down as well. I’m going to be graduating this year as well...So yeah.
Now Ig’s Its time to talk about some of the people I met and Loved this year a lot??

She’s a beautiful being that just wow...That’s been my friend for almost 2-3 years now? Like fuck, That’s the longest I’ve ever had a friend for man.

future child. (michalis x reader)
anon asked: “I'm liking the idea of Michalis, meeting his future kid with summoner...whose not only a girl (whelp goodbye firstborn son and heir), but also rides a cute lil pegasus too and is ironically scared of wyverns. (it'd be nice if you could whip up a scenario/headcanon for this, but if not that's fine too..i just needed to get this off my chest bc its simply too cute)”
a/n: haha i’m glad y’all seem to like this... series of sorts ^^ the only difficult part is coming up w “fire emblem” names for the kiddos rip! --mod touko
also (i feel like i always put an ‘also’ on my posts bc i never shut up lmao!) i got fe: warriors this weekend and just finished the main story! it was aight tho the best part about it is unlocking f!robin she’s so pretty aaaa!!!
other “future child” stories: alfonse // sharena \\ fjorm & gunnthra // loki
you had always had a fascination with the stars. they were the one thing constant in both your world and in askr -- and despite the different constellations, you could always look up at the maps in the sky and make up stories for the different shapes you would pick out. of course, alfonse would tell you what each constellation meant, but you found the stories in your head were much more interesting then the actual explanation for them.
the one story you loved, though, was the story of the goddess of night, celeste. doomed to be forever separated from her lover, the goddess of the daytime, she weeps every night, the tears falling from her face and creating the beautiful formations in the sky to lead other lovers safely home, so they don’t suffer the same fate. it was oddly beautiful, in a way most tragedies are.
you’re thankful for your love of the night, as it let you meet her.
just as the goddesses tears light the night, so does she as she falls to the earth, hurtling towards it like a comet. you quickly jump up, going to help the girl who’s passed out inside of a crater on the ground.
“are you okay?” you ask, though the answer is fairly obvious. she just fell from the sky, of course she wasn’t alright. the girl, thankfully, can stand, and she gets up weakly, looking around as if in a daze.
“where am i?” she asks, holding her head, her voice barely a whisper. her clothes are torn, and she holds her arms close to her chest, her breath visible because of the cold. “w-who are you?” she scrunches her face up, and limps towards you. you lunge forward and grab her arms, making sure she’s fit to stand, inspecting her face closely.
you can tell she’s a bit younger than you, maybe by a few years, but there are dark circles under her eyes. her bright red hair is cut at her chin, [eye color] eyes dull and devoid of warmth.
“i’m [name], i’m the tactician and summoner of the army of askr... i could ask the same to you... what is your name?” she grits her teeth, looking to the left as if trying to rack her own brain of thoughts, but ultimately finds nothing. she grips onto you as if trying to steady whatever was going on in her mind. you wrap an arm around her shoulder, taking out breidablik and summoning a portal back to the castle.
“i-i’m not sure... i don’t remember anything.” you look at her, searching her eyes and seeing nothing but sincerity. you smile softly, making a stupid decision to trust this stranger who could easily kill you. studying the freckles on her face, you realize that some look like your favorite constellation.
“can i call you celeste?”
celeste quickly falls asleep under the care of the healers working the night shift, who just happened to be mist and sakura. they assured you that she would be fine in the morning, she only had a few scrapes and a dislocated ankle (nothing a stave couldn’t fix), so you could turn in for the night. despite their words, though, you couldn’t bring yourself to fall asleep when you had so many questions about this girl. so, you resign yourself to sitting by the door, waiting for her to wake up.
it’d been a few weeks since celeste crash landed in askr. she still didn’t have her memories back, but was quickly becoming very attached to you. not that you minded, she was a total sweetheart who loved animals viewed the world with wide-eyed optimism. she even got herself a pegasus and started training to become a pegasus knight, with some help from caeda. she seemed to be naturally talented with a lance. (you suspected that she might’ve been a pegasus knight before she lost her memories, but nothing was certain).
“isn’t she adorable?” you ask, watching her train from afar. michalis lowers his head, crossing his arms. “she’s growing into such a strong young woman already, despite only being here for week. i wish i had resolve like that.” you let out an airy laugh, the macedonian king seemingly listening to you, but his eyes focused straight ahead.
“children should not be utilized on the battlefield.” he says, eyes flickering down to look at you, “leave the fighting to the strong ones.” you hum, opening the small journal in your pocket where you keep notes on the units.
“you’re right,” you reply, flipping to a page where you had kept notes on michalis. “children have to grow up far too fast here, i mean, kana and sanaki are barely even teenagers and yet they have to fight. it’s cruel.” you doodle yet another drawing of the red-haired wyvern rider, this time smiling and happy with little flowers surrounding him. he takes notice, and doesn’t seem too amused, but says nothing of it. “did you train as a child, too?” michalis merely nods, obviously not wanting to share that part of him with you just yet. you knew not to press him, as he opened up to you little by little, and pestering only made him close up more.
“[name]!” you hear celeste call, bounding over to the two of you, with a grin stretching from ear to ear. she jumps into your arms, heaving trying to catch her breath, but still beaming nonetheless.
“i’m getting so much better! miss caeda is SUCH a good teacher! i think i’m almost ready to be on the front lines, what do you say, mother?” she says, so excited that the words come so fast you can hardly keep up.
“i don’t think you’re ready qu-- wait, i’m sorry, what did you just call me?” you question, and see michalis shift beside you. the first thing that comes to your mind is that this is probably just a slip up, like calling a teacher ‘mom’ on accident, but she just smiles in response, confident in her words.
“nope! as i was training, i think some of my memories came back to me!” she’s practically bouncing, shifting from heel to heel with nervous energy. “i saw a glimpse of you helping me get over my fear of wyverns, telling me something about how you used to fear them, then you met someone who helped you get over that fear!” she giggles, and you feel your heart hammer in your chest. you knew exactly who she was talking about, but your feelings for him weren’t up in the air yet. you glance at him, and his frown deepens, as he turns on a heel and leaves. your heart is telling you to follow him, but you couldn’t leave your daughter hanging.
forcing a nervous smile, you say: “please, tell me more.”
word travels fast around the castle, the news of celeste being your daughter being the topic of everyone’s conversations. chrom had offered you a few words of advice, as he was one of the few people who could relate to your situation, and you were grateful for that.
though, the speculations about who was the baby’s other parent were rampant as well. since celeste had red hair, it seemed every hero with a streak of red in their hair was rumored to be your “future spouse”. some heroes didn’t mind, such as the fearsome tactician saias and the candy thief gaius, but others, minerva, anna, and cordelia, quickly shot down these rumors, as though they did enjoy the summoner’s company, it was merely a platonic relationship between you two.
deep down, you knew who it was. it couldn’t be anyone else, you were sure of it, but you couldn’t seem to tell him. it’s only when celeste falls off her pegasus and bumps her head that she remembers herself.
“it’s michalis!” she laughs, almost maniacally. “my father is michalis! we have to tell him at-- ouch.” celeste winces, rubbing her head. you tell the girl to go to the healers while you took care of the matter yourself, (half because you didn’t know how he would react, and it would kill you if he denied her), and she acquiesces.
“michalis?” you knock on his door, anxiety swelling with each tap you make. you hear him respond with a quiet yes. “may i come in?” he doesn’t answer, and you know that means you can.
“what is it?” he responds sharply, not even bothering to look up at you as he scans through some war book at his desk. you clench your jaw, not knowing how to bring up the topic at hand. usually, you always knew what to say, but words often failed you when you needed them most. letting out a deep breath, you decide that it’s now or never.
“it’s about celeste, you--” he cuts you off mid-sentence.
“if it’s about who her father is, i couldn’t care less.” his voice is icy in a way you hadn’t heard since when you first met him.
“no, just--”
“oh, you haven’t found out yet? the list must be very long considering that you flirt with half of the army.” your eyes water, gods, he always knew just the right words to say to make someone hurt, you just never thought it would be directed at you. he didn’t mean it, your brain told you, he’s just hurt and trying to push you away like he does with everyone else, but it still stings that he would think of you that way. you hadn’t flirted with anyone but him for the longest while, he was just too much of a recluse to notice. it’s then he finally glances at you, noticing that you’re holding back tears.
“you’re such a dastard michalis.” you curse, tears flowing down your cheeks freely, “i was coming here to tell you that you’re her father.” you want to yell at him, want to make him hurt as much as he made you hurt, but you can’t bring yourself to. instead, you add in a small voice: “i should’ve listened to minerva about you.” and then you leave, slamming the door behind you.
michalis is left with the same feeling that he had after using his sister, maria for a bargaining chip. complete and utter disgust with himself.
“you!” celeste yells, flying her pegasus in front of michalis to block his path. she quickly dismounts, standing in front of him defiantly, chest puffed out and a stubborn expression on her face. even in the darkness, he could see the resemblances to you, as you always made when he would first tell you to leave him alone. “you made my mother cry! why would you do that you jerk!” despite the fierceness in her voice, her eyes look scared.
“i know,” he responds, voice barely above a whisper. “where do you think i was going, child?”
“i don’t think she even wants to see you!” celeste replies, her pegasus glaring at him behind her. despite her words, he continues across the courtyard to the hall where your room was. “hey! are you even listening to me!” she follows quickly, the only noise besides their voices being the soft flap of her pegasus’s wings.
“i don’t care, i need to right my wrongs.” he answers, ignoring her words of warning. of course you wouldn’t want to see him, he was utterly rude to the only person who cared enough to be nice to him despite his cold demeanor (save maria), but he had to see you. what he did to his family was unforgivable, and that damage could never be repaired, but he could mend relations with you, his one beam of warmth in his otherwise frigid world.
“i don’t know what you were like in my world, but...” she trails off, “i don’t want you to hurt my mother because you don’t want me.” he’s stunned into silence, the small girl looking towards the ground, eyes watering and sniffling as if to hold back a sob. michalis mentally curses, wondering what good deed he did in some previous life to warrant him this lucky of a hand, because he was sure that he’s done nothing good in his life to deserve the love of not only you, but of this angel, celeste, whom he’s never shown kindness to in the months she’s been here. he wishes he was maria, or even minerva who, though blunt, was much kinder than he.
“you think i do not want you?” he says, clearing his throat, trying for once to say what was truly in his heart. “nothing could be further from the truth.” celeste breaks, freely sobbing as she lunges at michalis, clinging to his midsection.
“oh father!” she says inbetween sobs, “i love you!” he’s frozen in place, not used to this type of affection except from maria. he puts a tentative hand on the top of her head, slowly patting her hair.
“yes. now, let’s go find your mother.” celeste quickly reels back, quickly wiping her face off and forcing a smile.
“yes! but don’t think you’re off the hook just yet!” she giggles, eyes puffy and red, “i’m still mad at you!”

Franz Ferdinand 8-8-18
one of the best concerts i’ve ever been to and basically one of the greatest nights of my life.
sorry this is so long i just love them so much!!!!
I got to the venue around 5:30 when doors weren’t even going to open until 7. Even as I sat outside with only six people ahead of me in line, I was SO anxious about getting front row and I was really afraid that I wouldn't make it. I know this sounds weird, but when they let us into the theater and I bolted for the barrier and actually got it, I felt like I could finally relax for the first time in months.
I loved chatting with the people around me on the barrier! I don’t know any Franz fans in real life so it was nice to be able to talk to people about them.
I really enjoyed POW! They were fun. The keyboard player was cute as hell and her outfit was adorable. I was dying laughing at all the people in the audience who kept randomly yelling POW!!! between songs.
It was surreal when the lights finally went down and they came out. Bob and Paul first, then Julian and Dino...and then Alex, casually strolling onstage with his guitar in one hand and a mug of tea in the other. This video says it all. ♥
I was so happy they opened with Always Ascending! It's one of my absolute favorites of theirs and I feel like it's a great opener with the way it builds up. My memory of this song is a fucking blur because I was mostly just standing there attempting to process the fact that holy shit, this is happening, they're real!!!!! They're fucking real!!!!
They played Come On Home next (which I wasn’t expecting at all!!!) and they dedicated it to a woman in the front row, Reese, for her birthday. :’) Such a lovely song and the fact that they played it for her is amazing.
Alex had to stop during the second verse of Walk Away because he was having some sort of sound issues...they finished the song, but afterwards he had to walk over to the sound guy to get something fixed and he told the other guys to jam and told Bob to start lmao. So they all started awkwardly jamming and laughing and it was cute af.
When Alex came back they played The Dark of the Matinee which was AMAZINGGGG. The intro with Julian and Dino and Alex all on guitar??? So fucking cool. This was the song that sort of lowkey got me interested in them last summer (shoutout to @flakybandit ♥) which made it even better.
Come and dance with me...come and dance with me...now cOME ALL OVER ME MICHAEL
Lazy Boy is so much fucking fun!!! Alex played that shaker thing during the intro (idk what it's called) and then just fucking...flung it onto the floor behind Bob and it landed with a soft chhhk and I was dying. It was also cool to watch him counting out the 10/4 time signature in the middle of the song!
Alex held my hand during the second verse of Glimpse of Love!!!!!!!! aaaa
It took me a second to recognize Lucid Dreams when they started playing, because I'm more familiar with the version on Tonight, but when I figured it out I fuckin lost my shit. I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH.
I was still reeling from hearing Lucid Dreams and then they fucking started playing EVIL EYE. SAJDJSDJ OH MY GODDDD. This song makes me so fucking happy. Screaming “IT'S RED YA BASTARD!!!” is definitely a life highlight.
I know I said that DotM is the song that got me interested in them last summer, but Do You Want To is the song that finally got me hooked on them this spring. I lost my mind a little bit haha. So much fun. They really drew out the “lucky lucky” part, which I loved. Alex was so into it dsjfjsf. Like yeah, Alex, you know what? I am so lucky. ❤️
Ulysses though ;o; I’ve loved that song from the moment I first heard it. I was a junior in college when it came out and I distinctly remember listening to it while walking around campus, rewinding the “you’re never going home” part over and over because I just loved it so much...yeah. Finally getting to hear it live was incredible.
The first song of the encore was Finally!!! This song means a lot to me for various reasons and I'm so happy I got to see it live. The whole band stopped playing during the little breakdown part in the middle of the song and Alex encouraged the audience to sing along. It was quiet because most people didn't know the song haha but he tried. (God, how it feels good to be with people like me.)
Feel The Love Go. Oh my god. I know I say this about a lot of Franz songs but I honestly think this is my favorite song of theirs. Back in May, when I was first getting into FF, I had a really horrible day at work. I felt like such a failure and I honestly wanted to give up and quit teaching forever. I remember listening to this song that night and the next day, and that was the first time I really paid attention to the lyrics. “For the things that you do are not who you are.” “Think of a friend and wish them love. Think of an enemy and wish them more.” It sounds ridiculous, but it spoke to me at a time when I really needed to hear it – and it kind of put some things in perspective for me. I love it so much. It gives me such a good feeling every time I listen to it. And it's so good live!!! Alex's dancing is impeccable, and I absolutely love when he gives his fucking sermons on feeling the energy and the love in the room tonIGHT!!! Fucking magical. ♥
One of my favorite things about concerts is how the energy in the room changes when a band starts playing their most popular song. The Killers with Mr. Brightside, Duran Duran with Hungry Like The Wolf, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones with The Impression That I Get...everyone just seems to come alive. That's how it felt to hear them play Take Me Out. I love it sosososo much. It takes me back to being 15, in a good way haha. Alex and Julian and Dino jumping at the beginning is cute as hell. I love those bouncy boys.
I'm pretty sure Julian noticed me at one point during Take Me Out, since he was in Dino's spot... I smiled at him and did a heart with my hands and he smiled :D
This Fire was insaneee. if you haven't seen FF play it live go check it out here (not my show but it sounded pretty much exactly the same). I loved the extended guitar jam in the middle! When Lexi and I were outside later talking to Alex, she told him how much she loved this version of the song, and Alex said he thought it was great, too! He said it's not always so drawn out, it all depends on whether he and Dino hit the right groove or not, and tonight they did. :D
Getting down on the floor and watching them through the barrier and then jumping up and dancing my ass off is another experience that I'll never forget. Part of me regrets not taking any videos of this, because it was fucking amazing, but I knew I had to just experience it. (Oh, how I burn for you. <3)
Some more random observations from during/after the show:
Alex came back out for the encore with a second mug of tea
When he introduced Dino he referred to him as “the man that is loved by every cat in the world” :')
Julian has the longest legs known to man
Also Julian kept randomly giggling throughout the show jdsfjds so cute
Paul and Bob were so far away :( but it was cute to see them looking so focused and intense!
Alex has a nice butt. Thanks for coming to my TED talk
When Dino and I took our picture he leaned his head into mine (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
When I went to take my selfie with Paul we did that awkward thing where we both put our arms up so he was like “Here, I'll go up” sdjfsfj :’)
I wanted to talk more to Bob but I didn't know what to say! At least I got to tell him that the show was amazing and he thanked me :) What a cutie.
This is going to sound weird I think but like...Alex looked really nice in the dim glow of the streetlights in the alley? It really brought out his eyes or something haha. He's just so stunningly beautiful, and it's even more pronounced in person. <3
I almost didn't tell Alex how much their music has helped me this year. Lexi and I had taken our pictures and she was talking to him and he looked like he was about to head over to someone else and I knew it was kind of a now or never thing so I just...fucking did it. He smiled and put his hand on my shoulder and told me how much he likes hearing things like that and he hopes that next year will be better for me. :)
I was SO nervous to talk to them, especially Alex, but they all instantly made me feel at ease. They're just as lovely as everyone said they would be. If any of you ever have the opportunity to meet them after a gig, do it. They’re so kind and genuine and you can tell they enjoy getting to talk to their fans.
It’s been a week since I saw them now and I’m not gonna lie, I’m sad and I miss them so much. Weirdly, though, I’m comforted by the fact that even though I don’t know where or when, I’m going to get to see them again (and maybe even meet them again!) and that’s enough to keep me going. ♥
#franz ferdinand#if you read this entire thing i love you and i'm sorry lmao#i love one (1) band#ff8818
